{{quote|'''Kari:''' What does the 'S' stand for?
'''Syndrome:''' For, uh... sitter. Yeah, sitter. Originally I was gonna use the initials for 'Baby Sitter' but then I'd be going around with a big ol' [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|'BS!']] And [[Better Than a Bare Bulb|And you understand why I couldn't go with that...]]
|''[[The Incredibles|Jack-Jack Attack]]''}}

== [[Fan Works]] ==
* [[Hard Light|Holographic Retro]] of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series|Calvin and Hobbes The Series]]'' has an "H" on his forehead.

Line 106:
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]'', Mrs. Weasley gave her sons knitted sweaters with letters on them one Christmas. P for Percy (or "Prefect" if you ask Fred or George), F for Fred and G for George. On the other hand...
{{quote|'' 'You haven't got a letter on yours [Ron],' George observed. 'I suppose she thinks you don't forget your name. But we're not stupid -- we know we're called Gred and Forge.' ''}}
** And in [[Harry Potter and the Philsopher's Stone (film)|the movie]] at least, Ron gets one with "R" on it.
* The eponymous letter in ''[[The Scarlet Letter]]''. It's a red 'A', which is supposed to stand for "adulteress", but since Hester, the woman sentenced to wear it, is so helpful to the people in her community, they start to believe it stands for nicer things, such as "admirable".
 
Line 196:
 
== [[Professional Wrestling]] ==
* "H" is for Hurricane, former resident superhero of the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]]. "R" is for Rosey, his boy (well, 300-pound Samoan who acts like a boy) sidekick.

* "G" is for Gizmo Man of the Super Globetrotters; [[Inspector Gadget]] also has a few of these, most notably on his [[Cool Car|Gadget-mobile]].
* "L" is for Larry Fine of the [[Robonic Stooges]] (and "M" is for Moe and "C" is for Curly, of course().
